Friend group leader?

[Anonymous]

Do all friend groups have a leader?

I've never had friends before until this year but I have noticed very quickly

Noticed that I seem to be the leader like a pack of wolves I decided ware we are going what we are doing when and where and how

There is 5 of us And I'll hang out with each member independently like Go to their house or have lunch with them but they don't hangout with each other without me if there is a argument with some of the friends group it's brought to me to smooth out. Nobody makes plans besides me I decided ware we go eat or what we go do their friends with each other seems very dependent on what I'm doing.

Is this normal? Do all friend groups have a leader how is it decided Also how the f*** did I end up leader I didn't agree to this s***

Lol, you're less the "leader" and more the only one planning and making decisions.

It happens often. Most folks hate planning or decision making. Those of us unafraid of logistics often end up making those calls.

It's not just that they are very dependent on ware I am what I'm doing even like I was alone my whole life so I'm very good at being alone and having a life outside of other people but they kinda cling me like cling wrap even when things go wrong like we

Work in a bakery together and if something looks wrong or it got broken or if we should tell management gets tossed in my lap like I'm supposed to fix it somehow.

Even the managers at our job have established I'm in charge in some way if they aren't getting along managers show up telling me I need to get my ducks back in there row like I'm not there manager you are

They kinda argue and bicker about my lunch break because we can't all go at the same time but they all want me to go at the same time as whoever and have stopped speaking to each other over it at times I suggested maybe they should go together and I'll stay behind they didn't like that idea one bit so it changed to now they take turns on who gets me for lunch

I feel like they should be able to spend time away from me

Not sure I like having the control I do pretty much my every move determines what they plan to do
